SDCC: 12-Inches of One Commanding Cobra
Was the obvious enough as a penis joke? Because it’s the best I could come up with.
Anyways, Sideshow’s second 12-inch G.I. Joe figure was revealed at SDCC, and, as we knew, he’s Cobra Commander. The hooded one. Which is fine, really. And I think the leather trenchcoat is a nice look for him, actually. As always, the far more informed and reputable ToyNewsI has the details on the figure:
? Fully articulated Prometheus male body with 30+ points of articulation
? Hooded Cobra Commander Portrait
? Shirt with Cobra emblem
? Pants
? Trench coat
? Boots
? Detailed belt with Cobra Command buckle
? Pistol with holster and 2 x ammo magazines
? Magazine pouch for Pistol Ammo
? MP-7 with short magazine, silencer, and 3 x long magazines
? Magazine pouch for MP-7 Ammo
? Dagger with scabbard and chain
? Cobra Commander gun
? 3 sets of interchangeable gloved hands
? 12-inch display base with G.I. Joe logo
I’m really regretting the title now. “See Sideshow’s 12-Inch Commanding Cobra”? No…
